Punjab Safe Cities Authority Becomes First Certified AI Institution in Pakistan

Punjab Safe Cities Authority Achieves International AI Certification

The Punjab Safe Cities Authority has become Pakistan’s first public sector organization to secure certification for an Artificial Intelligence Management System. This achievement was made possible under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s “Digital Punjab” vision.

Officials stated that the authority developed its complete artificial intelligence infrastructure in-house, with twelve internally developed AI systems meeting international AI lifecycle standards. The authority has been internationally recognized as a developer, integrator, and effective operator of AI systems linked to a network of over 24,000 cameras across Punjab.

International experts from SGS conducted multiple audits before granting the certification, declaring the authority’s AI systems, governance framework, and operational mechanisms compliant with global standards. The certified systems include Smart Vision AI, facial recognition, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), intelligent traffic management, crime analytics, and AI-based governance monitoring.
